We’ve been LOVING all the restaurant reopening news lately!
Tusker House is open again!
Lately, we’ve gotten to make our return to a few restaurants in Disney’s Animal Kingdom including Dino Diner and our beloved Tusker House (Reunited with Safari Mickey and it feels SO GOOD). Now, could another Animal Kingdom snack spot be opening?
We were checking out the Disney website today when we noticed that The Smiling Crocodile has hours posted from 11AM to 2PM beginning THIS SUNDAY, July 11th.

This spot is typically open seasonally and the menu changes regularly, but right now it’s posted with tacos! Yum.
Pulled Pork Street Tacos
Now, we did spot some changes to the menu so it looks like we might not be chowing down on the Jelly Donut Pulled Pork Sandwich or the Pork Tamale (Don’t worry, we spotted that Jelly Doughnut Sandwich over at Eight Spoon Cafe!). Instead, get ready for that variety of Street Tacos!

At this time hours remain posted through dates in early September. Remember though, these hours do NOT guarantee that this spot will reopen and they are subject to change. Of course, we’ll be checking in on The Smiling Crocodile come Sunday!
